DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Tobit - 5

5:1  Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things, father, which thou hast commanded me.

5:1  Tunc respondit Tobias patri suo, et dixit : Omnia quæcumque præcepisti mihi faciam, pater.

5:2  But how I shall get this money, I cannot tell; he knoweth not me, and I know not him: what token shall I give him? nor did I ever know the way which leadeth thither.

5:2  Quomodo autem pecuniam hanc requiram, ignoro : ille me nescit, et ego eum ignoro : quod signum dabo ei ? sed neque viam per quam pergatur illuc aliquando cognovi.

5:3  Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it.

5:3  Tunc pater suus respondit illi, et dixit : Chirographum quidem illius penes me habeo : quod dum illi ostenderis, statim restituet.

5:4  But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live.

5:4  Sed perge nunc, et inquire tibi aliquem fidelem virum, qui eat tecum salva mercede sua, ut dum adhuc vivo, recipias eam.

5:5  Then Tobias going forth, found a beautiful young man, standing girded, and as it were ready to walk.

5:5  Tunc egressus Tobias, invenit juvenem splendidum stantem præcinctum, et quasi paratum ad ambulandum.

5:6  And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man?

5:6  Et ignorans quod angelus Dei esset, salutavit eum, et dixit : Unde te habemus, bone juvenis ?

5:7  But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes?

5:7  At ille respondit : Ex filiis Israël. Et Tobias dixit ei : Nosti viam quæ ducit in regionem Medorum ?

5:8  And he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana.

5:8  Cui respondit : Novi : et omnia itinera ejus frequenter ambulavi, et mansi apud Gabelum fratrem nostrum, qui moratur in Rages civitate Medorum, quæ posita est in monte Ecbatanis.

5:9  And Tobias said to him: Stay for me, I beseech thee, till I tell these same things to my father.

5:9  Cui Tobias ait : Sustine me obsecro, donec hæc ipsa nuntiem patri meo.

5:10  Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto him.

5:10  Tunc ingressus Tobias, indicavit universa hæc patri suo. Super quæ admiratus pater, rogavit ut introiret ad eum.

5:11  So going in he saluted him, and said: Joy be to thee always.

5:11  Ingressus itaque salutavit eum, et dixit : Gaudium tibi sit semper.

5:12  And Tobias said: What manner of joy shall be to me, who sit in darkness and see not the light of heaven?

5:12  Et ait Tobias : Quale gaudium mihi erit, qui in tenebris sedeo, et lumen cæli non video ?

5:13  And the young man said to him: Be of good courage, thy cure from God is at hand.

5:13  Cui ait juvenis : Forti animo esto : in proximo est ut a Deo cureris.

5:14  And Tobias said to him: Canst thou conduct my son to Gabelus at Rages, a city of the Medes? and when thou shalt return, I will pay thee thy hire.

5:14  Dixit itaque illi Tobias : Numquid poteris perducere filium meum ad Gabelum in Rages civitatem Medorum ? et cum redieris, restituam tibi mercedem tuam.

5:15  And the angel said to him: I will conduct him thither, and bring him back to thee.

5:15  Et dixit ei angelus : Ego ducam, et reducam eum ad te.

5:16  And Tobias said to him: I pray thee, tell me, of what family, or what tribe art thou?

5:16  Cui Tobias respondit : Rogo te, indica mihi de qua domo aut de qua tribu es tu.

5:17  And Raphael the angel answered: Dost thou seek the family of him thou hirest, or the hired servant himself to go with thy son?

5:17  Cui Raphaël angelus dixit : Genus quæris mercenarii, an ipsum mercenarium qui cum filio tuo eat ?

5:18  But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the great Ananias.

5:18  sed ne forte sollicitum te reddam, ego sum Azarias Ananiæ magni filius.

5:19  And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee be not angry that I desired to know thy family.

5:19  Et Tobias respondit : Ex magno genere es tu. Sed peto ne irascaris quod voluerim cognoscere genus tuum.

5:20  And the angel said to him: I will lead thy son safe, and bring him to thee again safe.

5:20  Dixit autem illi angelus : Ego sanum ducam, et sanum tibi reducam filium tuum.

5:21  And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you.

5:21  Respondens autem Tobias, ait : Bene ambuletis, et sit Deus in itinere vestro, et angelus ejus comitetur vobiscum.

5:22  Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set out both together.

5:22  Tunc paratis omnibus quæ erant in via portanda, fecit Tobias vale patri suo et matri suæ, et ambulaverunt ambo simul.

5:23  And when they were departed, his mother began to weep, and to say: Thou hast taken the staff of our old age, and sent him away from us.

5:23  Cumque profecti essent, cœpit mater ejus flere, et dicere : Baculum senectutis nostræ tulisti, et transmisisti a nobis.

5:24  I wish the money for which thou hast sent him, had never been.

5:24  Numquam fuisset ipsa pecunia, pro qua misisti eum :

5:25  For our poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as riches, that we saw our son.

5:25  sufficiebat enim nobis paupertas nostra, ut divitias computaremus hoc, quod videbamus filium nostrum.

5:26  And Tobias said to her: Weep not, our son will arrive thither safe, and will return safe to us, and thy eyes shall see him.

5:26  Dixitque ei Tobias : Noli flere : salvus perveniet filius noster, et salvus revertetur ad nos, et oculi tui videbunt illum.

5:27  For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall return to us with joy.

5:27  Credo enim quod angelus Dei bonus comitetur ei, et bene disponat omnia quæ circa eum geruntur, ita ut cum gaudio revertatur ad nos.

5:28  At these words his mother ceased weeping, and held her peace.

5:28  Ad hanc vocem cessavit mater ejus flere, et tacuit.
